5. Prepare Necessary Documents and Keep Them in a Safe Place
You can get into serious trouble if you lose your documents or if your documents are stolen. First of all, prepare necessary documents. Also, find a safe place where you could keep the most important papers like visas, passport, tickets, and so on.
Last but not least, after your trip is completely arranged, take all necessary precautions to secure your living place (house or apartment). Install good locks and let trustworthy people know how to get in contact with you in case of emergency. Also, it is great if you ask your neighbors to keep an eye on what’s going on around.
